The Alaska Health Project is a private non-profit organization
founded in 1980 to address issues of hazardous materials in the
workplace and in the community. Their mission is to provide information,
training, research, and related services to Alaskan organizations
and individuals. Their activities have included teaching classes,
writing articles and books, working with communities to identify
their hazardous wastes and create management plans, completing
an Alaska Hazardous Materials Incident Survey, providing hazardous
materials counseling to individuals over the telephone, assisting
small businesses in reducing their hazardous wastes, and teaching
high school students how to recognize health and safety hazards
in the workplace.

The collection consists of the records of the Alaska Health
Project and its activities. The records include materials relating
to the Board of Directors; the Director's files; reading files;
proposal, grant and contract files; records of the Hazardous Materials
Counseling Service; records of the Good Earth Project; seminar,
workshop, conference, and presentation files; financial records;
membership records; personnel records; the Alaska Health Bulletin
and other publications; and miscellaneous other records related
to the Alaska Health Project.

The collection was deposited in the archives in 1994 by the
Alaska Health Project. A deposit agreement was signed in 1994.
